Introduction:

The mammalian fauna of the Philippine Islands is now known to include 201 species: 21 are marine mammals, 172 are native terrestrial mammals, and 7 are introduced, non-native species that occur in the wild. With 111 (64%) of the terrestrial native species as endemics, the archipelago has one of the highest per-area levels of endemism in the world, on the basis of both absolute numbers and percentage (Madagascar has 80 endemics of 100 species in total). Since the last checklist was published, in 1987, sixteen new species have been discovered —currently one of the highest rates of discovery in the world (Morell, 1986); fourteen of the species listed here are not yet formally described. For each species, we provide citation to the original description (except when the species has yet to be formally described), the English common name, the documented distribution, a summary of habitat data, and an assessment of conservation status. At least 52 native species are threatened (many seriously endangered) as a result of forest habitats, over-hunting, and destruction of cave and marine ecosystems. Further basic research and implementation of effective habitat protection programs, especially for the forests, are essential to protect this remarkably diverse and endangered fauna.
